Dear Steffen, I have already raised some similar issue where because of un-appropriate use of "QEMU_OPTIONS" led the post process of udev-hwdb failed.
Anyhow, Richard has created a patch and you can go through the same here at: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2014-December/099544.html Let's see if that solves your issue.

I could track down the problem to the call qemu-arm -r 2.6.32 -L /pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs -E LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs/usr/lib:/pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs/lib /pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs/bin/udevadm hwdb --update --root /pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs which eats swap space without end till the system crashes (more than 100GB swap space ist available). I've no idea how to inspect this problem further. Any ideas?
